I Need to Rant

So here's the set up. Fire season ended, and hospital didn't make me permanent, so I had pretty much nothing to do when my brother and grandmother called, talked about how sick she was, and asked me to come down and help take care of her. Sure! Why not, I'll look for more work down there too. So I went. Turns out my brother has a roommate. I despise him, and so does my brother actually. My brother only took this kid in, because his ex asked him too, but holy hell was that a mistake. Every day it's something new, every single day, I just can't believe it. Here's a small summary.

He plays guitar and sings music, every day. Wants to launch a music career. He's completely tone deaf. It sounds terrible. We told him, he doesn't believe us. He won't stop. He thinks he sounds as good as anyone on the radio. Yeah...he thinks that, because he's tone deaf. Turns out he's also colorblind. Poor bastard has no idea how people with regular senses see and hear the world. Oh, and guess what his uncle gave him? An electric guitar? Is this whole family tone-deaf?

He's a pot head, smokes it every chance he gets. Somehow, despite having no money, he manages to smoke 4 to 5 days a week. I've literally seen him smoke until his mouth is hanging open drooling. It's disgusting. He's admitted to stealing it from my brother too. Oh, weed has no negative side effects he says. Bullshit. When you smoke so much you're drooling, there are some freaking side effects.

He has his own bathroom, but insists on making a mess out of ours. Pissing on the seat, using my bothers mouthwash, never rinsing out the sink, stealing our toothpaste and hairbrushes. Oh, and when he backs up his own toilet, which is often, he uses TOWELS to clean his floor...ALL the towels, ours included. We have a mop for heaven's sake.

Oh, and he barged into my room one night. There I am, laying down in my underwear checking my email and he just throws the door open and asked, "Are you jacking off?" Just get the FFFF out, what's wrong with you!?

He thinks he can see into alternate dimensions, and he will talk about it ad vomitum. He doesn't even describe them well. It's so boring and tedious to listen to. Not even creative. I can't even tell him to write fiction out of it, because it's terrible. He says he gets headaches from doing it, so stop doing it! Ugh. He just wants to be special, or he doesn't have a concept of what his own imagination is.

He hasn't paid rent, ever. His mother paid for him last time. Oh, and of course he eats all the food. He ate an entire damn pizza my brother bought on his own. Didn't even tell us he was going to eat it. And when his mother gave my brother a box of chocolates for Christmas, the little pissant ate practically the whole box himself too. Saw him dumping the empty box this morning. 24 chocolates. My brother ate 3, I ate 4. He ate the rest, 17 of the chocolates his own mother gave to my brother as a gift, he ate them himself.

Oh, he claims he's a vegetarian, but he doesn't know what that word means. He actually doesn't know what a lot of words mean, he can barely speak a sentence without misusing something. But that aside, he eats everything except beef. I thought I could make chicken parmesan and it would be safe for just me and my brother to eat, because this kid is vegetarian...nope. *sigh*

I gave my brother some non-stick dish ware for Christmas, and the freaking stoner tried to make a giant pancake on it and then took a goddamn knife to it, ruining the non-stick layering, and the knife at the same time.

I'm actively hiding all objects of quality, money, and food from him. I pretend I'm broke. I use every damn excuse to be away from him shamelessly. Even being around him for a couple hours is too much. Oh, and he can barely read and write. It's gibberish, not even real letters. It's not like he speaks a different language, English is his ONLY language, and he's only half learned it.

Oh, and even when he tries to help its a disaster. Took the trash out, didn't replace bag, and then threw out the fried eggs he failed to make because he can't cook. Great...now there's egg yolk stuck to he bottom of the trashcan. Does dishes? Sticks the plug so far down the drain that it got stuck there. He did like two dishes and left the water to sit. When we tried to reach down to get the plug out, we found out that he had shoved it in there upside down. And he's constantly leaving the door open. Just walks out and leaves the door open. If he loses my brother's cat, I hope we throw him out the window.

Oh, and he's like 1/10th black or something, and makes a BIG deal out if it. Oh hell, he's the whitest boy you ever saw, but he insists that he's black and he gets to go around saying the N word to anyone he wants all day long. He's black right up until it's convenient not to be black anymore, I can't freaking stand it.

HOLY SHIT...I just realized, he missed his court-ordered anger management class today. What the worthless freeloader has to be angry about, I don't know. But damn...I just remembered this, and I honestly don't care. Arrest him, please. Get him out of here. If it were up to me he'd have been thrown out a long time ago. It's not my job to raise this kid (he's 20), but my brother is too kind to just throw him out. I almost want him to take a swing at me so I can throw him out myself.

I hate to say it, but if this kid stays here much longer, I'm leaving. I came here to take care of my family members, not put up with this degenerate.

I'm sure everything I can think of saying to try you've done already. I mean his mother sounds a decent sort, maybe talk to her.

@GeniUs Yeah...she's going to try to take him in January. I don't know if I can believe her or not, but I have to hope.
God! That's a fucking nightmare you're living... 😲
